POMPANO BEACH -- Police on Wednesday charged a Lauderhill man with aggravated battery for punching a man who fell and cracked his skull and is now brain-dead, Lt. Dave Cassell said.

Dorsey Gouch, 31, of the 5500 block of Northwest 25th Street, was being held without bail in the Broward County Jail. He is accused of hitting Clyde Harvard, 40, of the 400 block of Northwest Fourth Avenue in Pompano Beach, Cassell said.

Gouch and Harvard had argued over a $200 debt Harvard owed, Cassell said.
